The Vegetarian Society

This cheerful, informative site promotes the general aims of The Vegetarian Society, which is working towards the vision of 'a future where the vegetarian diet is acknowledged as the norm'. All the latest research is incorporated into a series of authoritative, down-to-earth articles, which manage neither to patronise vegetarians nor alarm carnivores. Information may be accessed by the search facility or by scrolling down the homepage and clicking on the subject icons.



Special Features



Cordon Vert gives information on The Vegetarian Society's cookery school. There are course details, and a large collection of illustrated recipes (over 600), mainly reproduced from The Vegetarian magazine, and including dishes for people with special dietary needs. A special section is devoted to caterers.


Health and Nutrition provides concise information sheets on a wide variety of subjects. These include individual foods like grains, cheese, nuts and seeds, pulses and soya, fats and cholesterol, iron, protein, vegan nutrition, vitamin B12, zinc, plus short takes on individual conditions such as cancers, food poisoning and pesticide residues, heart disease, kidney stones, osteoporosis, and more. Other sections have advice on pregnancy, infants and children, sports and physical activity and research.



New Veggies is not a list of the latest fresh produce, but a helpful starting point for anyone contemplating the change to a vegetarian lifestyle.



Other Features



An online store with a fun gift catalogue, book sales, latest press releases from the Society, membership information and links to other vegetarian organisations. There's also further information about animals and the environment, local vegetarian networks, and pages of interest to younger people.
